INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The current downturn provides an opportunity to push ahead with reforms to accelerate growth, says the latest India Development Update report released by the World Bank. The report says that the adverse effects of rupee depreciation are likely to be offset by the gains in the exports performance due to improved external competitiveness. Since May this year, the local currency has depreciated substantially and fell to a record level of Rs 68.85 to a dollar on August, 28.

 

A stagflation like situation appears to have arisen as inflation jumped to an eight month high of 6.46 % for the month of September. It is up from 6.10 % in August. Growth continues to be muted with factory output plunging to 0.6  % in August. Onion prices have risen nearly 300 % from last September. Vegetables cost nearly 90 % more than they did last year. Wake up to the economic contribution of slum dwellers. They contribute more than 7.5 % to the country’s gross domestic product, according to a recent study conducted in 50 top cities.

 

136000 estimated number of jobs created during the second quarter of the current financial year. 50000 estimated number of additional jobs in the field of corporate social responsibility in the coming years.

 

The International Finance Corporation expects to come out with its rupee linked bonds issue before the end of 2013 as a part of its plan to raise $ 1 billion. The Apple iPhone 5c (Rs 41900 for 16 GB variant) and 5s (Rs 53500 for 16GB variant) has been launched in India from 1st November.

 

The Land Acquisition Act to provide just and fair compensation to farmers will come into force from January 1 next year, said Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh. The Act replaces a 119 year old registration. The Securities and Exchange Board of India has approved the trading of currency futures on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The exchange plans to launch the currency futures platform with advanced trading technology by the end of November.

FINANCIAL RESULTS:

 

During the year, the company has achieved sales (net of excise) of Rs. 308.700 Millions as against Rs. 613.800 Millions in the previous year. Company’s manufacturing activity has been continued affected adversely due to non availability of required quality of Iron Ore. The company was procuring high grade Iron Ore from Hospet (Karnataka) regularly, since June 2010 onwards state of Karnataka has imposed ban on sale of Iron Ore from state in view of illegal mining and environmental hazards. Hence the overall sales have decreased in the current financial year compared to previous year.

 

However the company is exploring alternative source of Raw Material i.e. Iron Ore to enable to re-start of the Production. The overall performance of the company under review has not been satisfactory due to external factors as mentioned above.

 

 

OPERATIONS

 

The company has achieved production of Pig Iron 3707 MT as against 26412 MT in the previous year. Due to non availability of good quality of Iron Ore the company does not have any option but to reduce its production of Pig Iron. The company continues to pursue rigorously technology and cost improvement measures.
